WHAT TO LOOK FOR DURING YOUR TEST DRIVE

The test drive is one of the most important parts of the car-buying process. Sure, you can spend hours researching Lexus vehicles on our lot of our LEXUS DEALERSHIP NEAR PLANTATION, FL, but the only way to get a real feel of how they drive is by taking them for a spin. However, our dealers do not recommend simply hopping in the new or PRE-OWNED LEXUS CAR and driving off without a plan. In order to get the best impression of a new Lexus car from a test drive, there are certain things that you should pay attention to.

Ride Comfort: First and foremost, you should make sure that you and any passengers are comfortable in the vehicle. Bring along your family for the test drive so that you can test both the front and rear seats of the Lexus vehicle. If possible, drive the vehicle over imperfect pavement with potholes so that you can test the suspension.

Handling and Acceleration: Instead of simply driving the car at a consistent speed in a straight line, you should try to vary the test drive in order to test handling and acceleration. Take the car to a road with tight curves or an empty parking lot so that you can test out the handling. Also, drive the car to a freeway so that you can test its acceleration when entering the on-ramp.

Braking: One of the most important safety features of a car is its brakes. On your test drive, you should make sure that you are comfortable with the brakes by testing them out. Brakes should be responsive but not too touchy.
